The Book of Enoch (R. H. Charles, 1917)
1 Enoch (Ethiopic Book of Enoch)
1I swear unto you, that in heaven the angels remember you for good before the glory of the Great One: and your names are written before the glory of the Great One.
1እምሕል፡ ለክሙ፡ ጻድቃን፡ እስመ፡ በሰማይ፡ ይዜከሩ፡ መላእክት፡ በእንቲኣክሙ፡ ለሠናይ፡ በቅድመ፡ ስብሐቲሁ፡ ለዐቢይ፡ ወአስማቲክሙ፡ ይጸሐፉ፡ በቅድመ፡ ስብሐቲሁ፡ ለዐቢይ።
2Be hopeful; for aforetime ye were put to shame through ill and affliction; but now ye shall shine as the lights of heaven, ye shall shine and ye shall be seen, and the portals of heaven shall be opened to you.
2ተሰፈዉ፡ እስመ፡ በቀዳሚ፡ ኀሰርክሙ፡ በእከይ፡ ወበሥራሕ፡ ወይእዜኒ፡ ትበርሁ፡ ከመ፡ ብርሃነ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወትትረአዩ፡ ወኆኅተ፡ ሰማይ፡ ይትረኀው፡ ለክሙ።
3And in your cry, cry for judgement, and it shall appear to you; for all your tribulation shall be visited on the rulers, and on all who helped those who plundered you.
3ወጽራሐ፡ ዚኣክሙ፡ ኵነኔ፡ ጽርሑ፡ ወያስተርኢ፡ ለክሙ፡ እስመ፡ እምነ፡ መላእክት፡ ይትኅሠሥ፡ ኵሎ፡ ምንዳቤክሙ፡ ወእምኵሎሙ፡ እለ፡ አርድእዎሙ፡ ለእለ፡ የሀይዱክሙ።
4Be hopeful, and cast not away your hope; for ye shall have great joy as the angels of heaven.
4ተሰፈዉ፡ ወኢትኅድጉ፡ ተስፋክሙ፡ እስመ፡ ትከውን፡ ለክሙ፡ ፍሥሓ፡ ዐባይ፡ ከመ፡ መላእክት፡ በሰማይ።
5What shall ye be obliged to do? Ye shall not have to hide on the day of the great judgement and ye shall not be found as sinners, and the eternal judgement shall be far from you for all the generations of the world.
5እንተ፡ ሀለወክሙ፡ ትግበሩ፡ አኮ፡ ከመ፡ ትትኀብኡ፡ ሀለወክሙ፡ በዕለተ፡ ኵነኔ፡ ዐባይ፡ ወኢትትረከቡ፡ ከመ፡ ኃጥኣን፡ ወኵነኔ፡ እንተ፡ ለዓለም፡ ትከውን፡ እምኔክሙ፡ ለኵሉ፡ ትውልደ፡ ዓለም።
6And now fear not, ye righteous, when ye see the sinners growing strong and prospering in their ways: be not companions with them, but keep afar from their violence; for ye shall become companions of the hosts of heaven.
6ወይእዜኒ፡ ኢትፍርሁ፡ ጻድቃን፡ ሶበ፡ ትሬእይዎሙ፡ ለኃጥኣን፡ ይጸንዑ፡ ወይዴለዉ፡ በፍትወቶሙ፡ ወኢትኩኑ፡ ሱቱፋነ፡ ምስሌሆሙ፡ አላ፡ ረሐቁ፡ እምግፍዐ፡ ዚኣሆሙ፡ እስመ፡ ለሐራ፡ ሰማይ፡ ሀለወክሙ፡ ትኩኑ፡ ሱቱፋነ።
7And, although ye sinners say: “All our sins shall not be searched out and written down,” nevertheless they shall write down all your sins every day.
7እስመ፡ ትብሉ፡ አንትሙ፡ ኃጥኣን፡ ኢይትኀሠሡ፡ ወኢይጸሐፍ፡ ኵሉ፡ ኀጢአትነ፡ ይጽሐፉ፡ ሀለዉ፡ ኵሎ፡ ኀጢአተክሙ፡ በኵሉ፡ ዕለት።
8And now I show unto you that light and darkness, day and night, see all your sins.
8ወይእዜኒ፡ አነ፡ ኣርእየክሙ፡ እስመ፡ ብርሃን፡ ወጽልመት፡ ዕለት፡ ወሌሊት፡ ይሬእዩ፡ ኵሎ፡ ኀጢአተክሙ።
9Be not godless in your hearts, and lie not and alter not the words of uprightness, nor charge with lying the words of the Holy Great One, nor take account of your idols; for all your lying and all your godlessness issue not in righteousness, but in great sin.
9ወኢትርስዑ፡ በልብክሙ፡ ወኢተሐስዉ፡ ወኢትሚጥዎ፡ ለነገረ፡ ርትዕ፡ ወኢተሐስውዎ፡ ለነገረ፡ ቅዱስ፡ ወዐቢይ፡ ወኢትሰብሕዎ፡ ለጣዖትክሙ፡ እስመ፡ ኢኮነት፡ ኵላ፡ ሐሰትክሙ፡ ወኵሉ፡ ርስዐትክሙ፡ ለጽድቅ፡ አላ፡ ለኀጢአት፡ ዐቢይ።
10And now I know this mystery, that sinners will alter and pervert the words of righteousness in many ways, and will speak wicked words, and lie, and practise great deceits, and write books concerning their words.
10ወይእዜኒ፡ አነ፡ ኣአምሮ፡ ለዝንቱ፡ ምሥጢር፡ እስመ፡ ነገረ፡ ርትዕ፡ ይመይጡ፡ ወየዐልዉ፡ ብዙኃን፡ ኃጥኣን፡ ወይትናገሩ፡ ነገራት፡ እኩያተ፡ ወይሔስዉ፡ ወይፈጥሩ፡ ፍጥረታተ፡ ዐቢያተ፡ ወመጻሕፍተ፡ ይጽሕፉ፡ ዲበ፡ ነገራቲሆሙ።
11But when they write down truthfully all my words in their languages, and do not change or minish aught from my words, but write them all down truthfully—all that I first testified concerning them.
11ወሶበሰ፡ ኵሎ፡ ነገራትየ፡ ይጽሕፉ፡ በርትዕ፡ ዲበ፡ ልሳናቲሆሙ፡ ወኢይዌልጡ፡ ወኢየሐጽጹ፡ እምነገራትየ፡ አላ፡ ኵሎ፡ በርትዕ፡ ይጽሕፉ፡ ኵሎ፡ ዘቀዳሚ፡ አስማዕኩ፡ በእንቲኣሆሙ።
12Then, I know another mystery, that books shall be given to the righteous and the wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom.
12ወካልአ፡ ምሥጢረ፡ ኣአምር፡ እስመ፡ ለጻድቃን፡ ወለጠቢባን፡ ይትወሀባ፡ መጻሕፍት፡ ለፍሥሓ፡ ወለርትዕ፡ ወለጥበብ፡ ብዙኅ።
13And to them shall the books be given, and they shall believe in them and rejoice over them, and then shall all the righteous who have learnt therefrom all the paths of uprightness be recompensed.’
13ወሎሙ፡ ይትወሀባ፡ መጻሕፍት፡ ወእሙንቱ፡ የአምኑ፡ ቦሙ፡ ወይትፌሥሑ፡ ቦሙ፡ ወይትሐሠዩ፡ ኵሎሙ፡ ጻድቃን፡ እለ፡ እምኔሆሙ፡ አእመሩ፡ ኵሎ፡ ፍናዋተ፡ ርትዕ።
